Dunlop Japan CM says that Dunlop ha saki ni iku (ダンロップは先に行く).
If you translate this into English, "Dunlop goes ahead". However, it can also be read that "Dunlop is worn away firstly". Japanese fans ridiculed Dunlop by the second meaning thus far. However, we're praising Dunlop for the first meaning today. Last edited by Japanese Samurai; 27 Aug 2017 at 10:53. |

Autoabcs Group will renew the BMW regular dealer "Ikebukuro BMW" and will start business from August 26.
オートバックスグループは、BMW正規ディーラー「Ikebukuro BMW」をリニューアルし、8月26日より営業を開始する。 Ikebukuro BMWは池袋駅から一直線、要町通り沿いに面したショールームとサービス工場が併設された拠点。今回の部分改装に伴い、開放感があるショールームに最新CIの床面や家具が導入され、よりプレミアム・ブランドに相応 しい空間となる。 オートバックスグループは、オートバックス事業の収益拡大とともに、新事業の開発と育成を推進。BMW正規ディーラー アウトプラッツと子会社のMINI正規ディーラー アウトプラッツモータースを買収し、2015年4月よりIkebukuro BMWとMINI 池袋の運営を開始した。Ikebukuro BMWのリニューアルにより、同地域における販売を強化していく。 https://response.jp/article/2017/08/21/298761.html @Japanese Samurai Is my translation correct for this article. If not then can you please summarize that article to me. |

According to Autosport Web, the reason of #30 Toyota Prius ran without hybrid system was because of the risk of system error caused by heat problem during the race which potentially affect the system. Also, as the local team at Suzuka (through Toyota Corolla Mie sponsorship), surely the team want to finish the race in front of all attended fans. Would be glad to be corrected in case of wrong translation. |

According to Takeshi Tsuchiya facebook:
It seem that he struggling to repair the machine after the crash in Suzuka 1000km race. https://www.facebook.com/takeshi.tsu...78?pnref=story スーパーGT鈴鹿1000km、予選ポールポジションから2位を走行していた残り3周で、マシンが横転するくらいのクラッシュでチェッカーを受けることができませんでした。 幸い孝允に怪我がなくて本当にホッとしました。 マシンは悲しい姿になってしまいましたが、しっかり元通りに戻してあげたいと思います! ただ次戦は海外のタイ戦なので、舟積みまでに2週間しかないので、それまでにどれだけやれるかチャレンジになります。 でも来週はS耐10時間レースがあるし、新規事業の準備もあったり、こんなときに限って会社に税務調査が入るので、まさにぐちゃぐちゃです…(;^_^A ただ逆境にはめっぽう強いし、こんなときにこそモチベーションは最大になるので大丈夫です! ただ前を向いてやるべきことをやりきります!! もしあのまま2位だったら、今シーズンのチャンピオンに王手をかけてて、ただ普通にやっていれば獲れたでしょう。でも残り5分で状況はひっくり返りました。 自分がチームを率いるようになって最大のピンチですが、こんなときにこそ自分を成長させるチャンス!またでっかくなるチャンスを頂いたと思ってやりきります!! やりきれたら誉めてください(笑) では頑張りまーす!! @Japanese Samurai It's my translation correct? If not then can you please translate this article as shown as above in bold word.(Even the translation is correct , it still recommend to translate that article) |

A ship for Thailand will depart only 2 weeks later. When repairing isn't in time for that, it'll be an air flight by own expense. However Takeshi Tsuchiya is positive as always. |

But I think Takeshi Tsuchiya need to buy another MC86 chassis with the 2017 update kit. Because of the heavy crashes in Suzuka and trouble repairing the chassis |

According to Autosport.web:
It seem that next year Fuji 500 miles races , the racing times are 5 hours. 2018年8月のスーパーGT富士戦は500“マイル”レース。時間は5時間ほどか!? GTアソシエイションの坂東正明代表は、スーパーGT第6戦鈴鹿1000kmの予選日に行われた定例記者会見のなかで、これまで記者会見内では語っていなかった2018年の第5戦に予定されている富士スピードウェ イでのレースについて、レース距離が500マイルになると語った。 第5戦のレース距離については、すでにJAF日本自動車連盟が公開している2018年国際モータースポーツカレンダーのなかで500マイルと明記されているが、坂東代表の口からレース距離が発表されたのは初めて のことだ。 富士スピードウェイでのスーパーGTは第2戦がこれまで500kmレースとして開催されてきたが、第5戦はこれまで300kmレースだった。ただ来季から鈴鹿でのレースが通常の300kmレースになるため、夏の 富士戦のレース距離が伸ばされると言われていた。 今回発表されたレース距離は500マイルという長さだが、kmに直すと804.672km。800kmレースになると考えていいだろう。1周4.563kmの富士スピードウェイで考えると、176周ほどになる。 また、今季は500kmの第2戦が3時間に満たない時間、300kmの第5戦が2時間に満たない程度で走りきっており、レース時間としては5時間に満たない4時間40分程度になることが予想される。 ピットストップ義務づけが4回になるか5回になるか等の細かい規則は来季にならなければ分からないとは思われるが、これで富士のスーパーGTは第2戦も第5戦も耐久の要素を含んだレースとなる。来季はどういった レースが展開されるのか、注目したいところだ。 @Japanese Samurai Is my translation correct for this article. If not then can you please summarize that article to me in bold words. |

That aero kit looks awfully 2013. Could be that rumored LFA GT500 that never happened being used to test mechanicals.

It was testing last year. It's seemingly not an LFA and was running disguised, that's why it looks mundane. I wanna know if the car will resurface or if it was a mule for something else.

I wonder if that's the LC GT3 car? I mean, Toyota is not satisfied with the performance of the RC-F GT3 car and we've already discussed it before.

The only thing Toyota had issue with were some balance problems once the FIA/SRO BoP was applied, and those issues have been sorted(the car was not to debut under GT3 homologation until it did). The RC-F GT3 has not underperformed in any way that would lead any reasonable company to abandon it at this point in time. |

You've probably seen it, as it's more your thing than mine, but found this.

That does resembles the LFA.
BTW, it's off-topic but there's news from Super Taikyu where the Fuji InterTec race will turn from 10-hours to 24-hours. https://twitter.com/geinou/status/903634323101949952 Hope that it won't get bought by SRO. |

Couldn't we just revive the Tokachi 24 already?
